Chapter 39 The Response of the Mirror of the Oracle
Greyhawk Kingdom, the territory of the Iron-Blooded Duke.
On the construction site, the craftsmen were still building the Dark Temple according to the design drawings. The mysterious phenomenon that had just occurred did not have any impact on their work.
Next to the Dark Temple under construction, there is a row of low but comfortable huts. High Priest Delphi and other believers who came here from the Kingdom of Braden are currently living here temporarily.
After the new dark temple is repaired, they will leave these simple and plain houses and live over there in the temple.
At this moment, the high priest Delphi returned to his hut after talking with the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's personal adviser, the "weird" Hobuev, about the recent war situation.
He sat next to the desk, opened the two locks on the drawer with the two keys he carried with him, and took out the simple-looking "Oracle Mirror".
Since temporarily living here, Delphi has taken out this mirror every morning and evening and prayed devoutly to the God of Darkness, asking him to protect himself and his companions, to successfully open up this new dimension and spread the teachings of the gods.
And when he encounters a difficult decision, he will devoutly pray to the great God of Darkness to guide him and tell him the way forward.
Because he is very worried that if he makes a wrong decision and brings the Dark Temple into the abyss of eternal destruction, then he will become the eternal sinner of the Dark Temple.
So, as usual, he carefully wiped the "Oracle Mirror" clean with white silk, placed it on the low table aside, then arranged his clothes and kneeled respectfully in front of this sacred object.
"Our eternal Lord of Darkness, the father of all living beings, and the King of the Dead," Delphi was heard praying sincerely in front of the mirror, "Under the guidance of the Lord Messenger, we have arrived in this new plane for dozens of years.
Oh my god. During this period of time, we chose to cooperate with the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke and already have a place to stay. We have also successfully spread your teachings and gained a group of new believers.
"But now, my lord, your people are faced with a problem.
"In a few days, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke will start a decisive battle with the King of the Greyhawk Kingdom. But judging from the current situation, the King has recruited reinforcements from the Coral Kingdom and has become more numerous. Although the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke has us as assistance,
But most of his vassals are a group of rabble who act according to the prevailing circumstances. We are not sure of victory.
"Omniscient and almighty God of Darkness, at this juncture, I sincerely hope that you can point us in the right direction. Should we listen to the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke and assist him in fighting the king? Or should we temporarily dissuade him and gather strength before making a decision?
"..."
With worry and nervousness, Delphi said this over and over again, while staring at the "Oracle Mirror" intently, waiting for the mirror's reaction.
To be honest, he didn't expect a response from the God of Darkness.
Because in his opinion, this kind of thing should be a trivial matter in the eyes of the great God of Darkness, and not worth looking at at all.
But now, he shoulders the mission of reviving the Dark Temple, and there is no room for error.
Even if the God of Darkness is too lazy to pay attention to him, he can at least get some psychological comfort and muster up the courage to lead the believers of the Dark Temple in an unknown direction.
…………
at the same time.
When Isabella was asking Andy questions, Allen was closing his eyes and listening to the prayer of the high priest Delphi.
From Delphi's prayer, he had a basic understanding of the current situation in the Greyhawk Kingdom, and it also matched Andy's description one by one.
So he quickly judged that Andy was not lying.
Moreover, in his opinion, the King of Greyhawk Kingdom seemed to be really frightened by the sudden rise of the Iron-Blooded Duke. He actually tried every means to gather tens of thousands of troops. He just wanted to use all his strength to fight against the Iron-Blooded Duke and eliminate him.
All potential threats.
Rabbits will bite when cornered.
No wonder Delphi and the others were not sure of victory.
Although they have the power of the God of Darkness, the upper limit of power in this plane is only level three. Maybe they can defeat one against three, one against five, or even one against ten, but facing thousands of troops
With the human sea tactics, they have no absolute advantage, and may even be eaten alive.
Of course, Allen is not worried about this.
After all, now, he himself has come to this plane.
In this upcoming decisive battle, if the Dark Temple can show its strong strength and give enough deterrence to enemies and potential enemies, then many problems can be solved once and for all.
Ever since the divinity of the goddess of light completely swallowed up humanity, the thing Allen lacks most is undoubtedly time.
He must choose the quickest way to cut through the mess.
So, he opened his eyes and told the high priest Delphi the answer to this question through the "oracle mirror"
"war."
…………
"war."
The high priest Delphi looked at the writings that appeared on the "Oracle Mirror", and his mood could not be calmed for a moment.
This is the first time the God of Darkness has responded to him in the past dozens of days.
The moment the handwriting appeared, all the doubts and worries in his mind disappeared without a trace.
He stood up suddenly, feeling confident and full of fighting spirit.
The response of the God of Darkness was like an all-powerful talisman, making him deeply realize that the great god was always with them. With the protection of the god, he could be fearless.
Thinking of this, Delphi strode out of her house and said to a guard standing at the door:
"Prepare the carriage for me. I'm going to discuss with the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke and Advisor Hobuev how to prepare for the next battle."
After hearing his words, the guard did not react for a moment.
After all, just a few minutes ago, the high priest of the Dark Temple had always been opposed to this hasty decisive battle. Why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye, as if he had become a different person? He had always been worried in the past
, looking like he was sighing, how could he suddenly become energetic and confident?
But this guard still remembered the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's order to "completely obey the orders of High Priest Delphi, don't ask why."
"Yes, high priest." He bowed respectfully to Delphi, and then immediately ran to prepare the carriage.
…………
After Andy's family escaped death and became believers of the God of Darkness, Isabella came to Allen and asked him in a low voice:
"Lord Messenger, what is our next plan? Is it to go to the Iron-Blooded Duke's territory and meet up with Delphi and the others?"
